Resumo

Myrtaceae é uma família diversa com centro de diversidade na América do Sul, Austrália e Sudeste Asiático, cujas histórias ecológicas e evolutivas têm sido foco de diversos estudos. Essa diversidade também se reflete em uma rica variedade de aspectos morfológicos, de desenvolvimento e evolutivos, incluindo a arquitetura das inflorescências. Propomos aqui um levantamento sistemático da literatura para melhor compreender o perfil e as abordagens dos estudos científicos sobre inflorescências em geral e, em seguida, especificamente em mirtáceas da tribo Myrteae. Descobrimos que a maioria dos trabalhos publicados nesta área concentra-se nas Monocotiledôneas, com a China e os EUA liderando em número de publicações. Estudos transversais entre famílias de plantas ou com foco em plantas cultivadas/modelos importantes geram mais citações. Os estudos ecológicos sobre inflorescências (especialmente referentes à polinização) têm uma estrutura teórica forte, enquanto as áreas estruturais, de desenvolvimento e evolutivas carecem de um corpo comum de referências. A produção científica é tendenciosa para famílias de plantas economicamente importantes, negligenciando aquelas biodiversas como Myrtaceae. Nossos resultados apontam para a necessidade de esforços de unificação/esclarecimento terminológico e de estudos morfológicos e ontogenéticos para melhor circunscrever e descrever inflorescências nas mirtáceas, tornando os resultados comparáveis e permitindo estudos mais amplos que possam ter impactos importantes em diferentes campos de pesquisa.
